Putting Glass Walls on New York's Slaughterhouses So We Can
See Behind Closed Doors
Champlain Beef Inc.

Citation: At approximately 08:10 while performing
the Preoperational Sanitation Inspection, after the establishment
had completed their Preoperational Sanitation Inspection and found
the slaughter floor to be acceptable I observed the following;
particles of fat on the inside opening of the first steam vacuum.
This is noncompliance with 416.4(a). This is a direct food contact
surface. I informed Mr. and he took immediate corrective action in
restoring sanitary conditions by removing the fat and sanitizing the
affected equipment. This document serves as a written notification
of your failure to comply with regulatory requirement(s) could
result in additional regulatory or administrative action.

Regulation:

416.13(c) Each official establishment shall monitor daily the
implementation of the procedures in the Sanitation SOP’s.
